Figure 6

(A) Shows in heart decreased fibroblast immunoreactivity in fetus from a mouse with anti-5-HT4 antibodies. Hearts from a control fetus is shown in A (100×) and D (1000×) and from fetus affected by anti-5-HT4 antibody is shown in B (100×) and D (1000×). The presence of immunocomplex between anti-αSMA antibodies and heart tissue is revealed with DAB (orange colour in A and B) and counterstained with hematoxyline (Harris) as it shown in higher magnification in C and D. Figure 6B. Represents the estimated immunoreactivity as measured by densitometry in heart tissues from control fetus and fetus from mouse with anti-5-HT4 antibodies (expressed in absorbance unit/pixel area, AU/px2)
